Photo: Pourya Sardari<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the quiet corners of the Greater Vancouver Zoo where WPC&#8217;s conservation team are working away, before the final frost of the winter, a rustling begins. From within their tightly-curled paper towel hideaways, where they have been motionless for over six months, tiny Taylor&#8217;s checkerspot caterpillars begin to awake from their winter slumber.<\/p>\n<p>These little ones have spent their last half a year in diapause, a dormant state where they conserve energy after the plants they eat dry up in early August.<\/p>\n<p>But what happens when we intervene, when we nurture these tiny creatures through their delicate stages of growth in the safety of our facility, only to release them to nature, and watch them wiggle off into the vast expanse of the wild?<\/p>\n<p>The process of releasing caterpillars to restored habitat begins with a simple observation the year before\u2014pairing up male and female checkerspots in our conservation breeding program and watching females deposit a tiny egg cluster which clings to the underside of a leaf. With gentle hands and keen eyes, we collect these creatures, provide them with appropriate food, temperature, humidity and a safe place to diapause until the following very early spring.<\/p>\n<p>Releasing caterpillars is a profound act, one that transcends the simple notion of letting go. It\u2019s a celebration of life, a testament to the resilience and beauty of nature. As we open our palms and watch these tiny beings embark on their journey, we are reminded of the cyclical nature of existence, the perpetual dance of birth, growth, and renewal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lhhw4ys5-eca8e7cc6e6ad9245ec81a2ab32fd870\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lhhw4ys5-eca8e7cc6e6ad9245ec81a2ab32fd870 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lhhw4ys5-eca8e7cc6e6ad9245ec81a2ab32fd870 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lhhw4ys5-eca8e7cc6e6ad9245ec81a2ab32fd870 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-46464 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-46464 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Newly-released-TCB-larvae-on-log_crpd_med-res_E-McClaren_124.jpg' alt='' title='Newly released TCB larvae on log_crpd_med res_E McClaren_124'  height=\"1096\" width=\"1596\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhw5pkk-96fbddbff2af2b3d2056a0014422e22a'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Newly released Taylor&#8217;s checkerspot caterpillars. Photo: E. McClaren<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>This spring we experienced the pinnacle of conservation goals when we discovered a new generation of Taylor&#8217;s checkerspots at the release site on Hornby Island, the descendants of caterpillars we released in previous years!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our field crews were overjoyed to find more than 200 recently emerged checkerspot caterpillars to confirm successful overwintering and emergence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is proof that the caterpillars we produced in captivity and released in the spring of 2023 made it all the way through a full annual cycle, becoming adult butterflies that then mated and produced wild caterpillars of their own in the wild.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the first time that a full life cycle for checkerspots has been seen on Hornby Island in more than 20 years &#8211; thanks to our conservation breeding and reintroduction efforts!<\/p>\n<p>When releasing a species, we need to ensure that they are able to complete their full life cycle in the habitat where they are being reintroduced If the release site can\u2019t support even one of the steps in the life cycle: we need to make adjustments to help an at-risk population grow. For checkerspots, since we want the releases to mimic what happens in the wild as closely as possible, the period of observation of emergence after winter of wild caterpillars is extremely close to the appropriate window for when we would release our conservation bred caterpillars. This means it is hard for field crews to know for sure if the animals they are observing are from overwinter success or from a recent release.. In 2024, with a smaller number of caterpillars to release we took the opportunity to push back our release date by a bit more than a week and release in a different area of the park. This allowed us to test drive this new area as well as ensure that our releases didn\u2019t confound observations at the main population.<\/p>\n<p>And that adjustment in timing is what led to our joyous discovery that a critically important goal of any recovery program is being met \u2013 <strong>that release animals are completing all the steps of their life cycle in the wild.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that we know that the habitat can support all life-stage needs of the butterfly, we can confidently continue our releases and monitor the population and watch it grow to a self-sustaining population.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lvmpqs04-d116f249d6fabe8912a02e3ffd852e79\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lvmpqs04-d116f249d6fabe8912a02e3ffd852e79 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lvmpqs04-d116f249d6fabe8912a02e3ffd852e79 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lvmpqs04-d116f249d6fabe8912a02e3ffd852e79 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-38829 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-38829 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Taylors-checkerspot-square-home.jpg' alt='' title='Taylor&#039;s checkerspot - square home'  height=\"1080\" width=\"1080\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1c28nfn-b43226128f209289cfc90758c79f8147 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-46461'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-rs2n4z-8fed8e8a96cdfebce06b2081ea3cf81e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhwhp6e-f304a75106673aca766fed47dd3dd4dd'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Andrea Gielens<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Lead Biologist &#8211; Fraser Valley Wetlands Wildlife<\/h5>\n<p>Andrea manages WPC&#8217;s captive breeding and release programs for the Oregon spotted frog and the coastal western painted turtle.
